Welcome To Case's Column

Let me say a big welcome to all of you for joining me here. I'm going to call these blog meetings Case's Column. I wanted to use "Corner", but that was already taken. Since 2008, it's been a real privilege to come on here and share some of my life with you, and it's a big world where we live.

In these blogs, I'll just speak whatever is on my mind, but we will be playing within the rules here. I may pick a particular topic, point out an event, or shoot the breeze. I'm a little bit of an essayist at times, so I'll just speak what's on my mind, and I might tell a story or two. Or, I might spew out an opinion or three. There will be some serious moments, some tender, some poignant, but there will also be those moments that you'll just bust out laughing. But, hopefully, everything will be in good fun here. And, of course, there's a place below for your comments and thoughts as we go along here. So feel free to join me for the ride -- I sure as heck hope I'm doing this right and not making any mistakes.

Thanks for taking your time in reading Case's Column. Hopefully, you'll enjoy being entertained by it as much as I've enjoyed putting these writings together. And thanks for the time you spend in City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive!

Regards,

case44

My multi-faceted vacation began in earnest last weekend and continued Wednesday with something long overdue. With high gas prices being what they've been, you wonder why I'd even do a road trip. I haven't done as many as I would have liked in the last couple of years due to same, but this time, something had to give.

You can only imagine what my conscience had been telling me in recent days, right? Something to the effect of, "Now, Case, you've gone too...

A Sticky Subject: When Bad Adhesive Becomes Too Much

Posted 01-12-2011 at 06:53 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Talk about relatively pointless. All I needed was one new ice scraper from the local auto parts dealer. And that's what I got: one stainless-steel ice scraper to replace the plastic one I've had for years. Sounds all fine and good............until it came time to unwrap said scraper in order to put in the glove compartment.

You see, there was a paper sticker surrounding the sharp edge of this new ice scraper when I purchased the product. Understandable....

Here I am at my computer again, a mere four weeks away from the Super Bowl and, thus, the end of football season. So, what's a guy to do when he doesn't watch as much basketball as he used to??

He thinks about baseball season.

Alright, alright. We all know it's still winter time, and Ol' Man Winter still wants to breathe down people's necks, especially with an Arctic front expected to move through next week with frigid temperatures blanketing about...

Updated 09-05-2023 at 06:10 PM by case44

Hello, gentle readers. It's one more round of Scattershooting before we hit the New Year's Day trail. The world is definitely not an uneventful place, so let's hop on for the ride and see where this thing takes us.

********

What's this? Another burger joint from another state about to make inroads in North Texas? That's right. In the last few years, we have had the likes of Five Guys, Krystal, and Smashburger come into the fold in the...
